“De-SS’ing” is my new favorite word . . . .

What a great story to go along with a great car. I would love to have a family heirloom car to pass on for generations, much less a spectacular car such as this one. You are blessed my friend.

Some progress today.

Picked up the rear seat frame Friday at the blaster and painted it Friday night. Dropped it off this morning at the upholstery shop and they said "your ears must've been burning". They had started work on the front seat and wanted to get on the rear seat too. I'm really happy I spent the time and money to clean up the seat frames. Like Dad always said, you'll never regret doing it right...

Still planning on bringing the car to them the last week in October to put it all together on the inside. Little by little....but moving forward.
